How long after a heart stent can you exercise?
In general after 10 days returning to a prior level of activity would be fine. It depends on whether other narrowing(s) resulting in expected decreased coronary blood flow and symptoms that were not capable of being "stented" were also present and whether problems associated with the stent procedure occurred. READ MORE
Can you live a normal life after heart stent surgery?
Yes. The intent of placing a stent is that as long as you take the medication (once or twice a day) you can engage in all of your usual activities. READ MORE
Which surgery is best for heart blockage?
There are different surgeries intended for a different types of "blockages." Arterial blockage may require coronary artery bypass (CABG). In general, arterial conduits are best. When a valve is abnormal, sometimes narrowed, or sometimes leaking, the valve may be repaired or replaced with either a treated one or an artificial one. READ MORE
What lifestyle changes do you need to make after coronary bypass surgery?
You probably have atherosclerosis if you had bypass surgery. I recommend cardiac rehabilitation to get in the habit of regular excise. You should continue this regular exercise, take a statin-class medication and any others like aspirin if prescribed, make sure that your blood pressure is controlled, and watch your diet (preferably switching to a Mediterranean diet).
